While the source includes a GPL-2.0 license text, this license is only used for the build scripts, and does not make it into the binary. The Bison-generated parser code is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later with a license exception allowing it (in this case) to be released under a different license. The resulting binary is under LGPL-2.1-or-later (as mentioned in the original mail thread it uses the old SPDX identifiers).
